A survey of aquatic macroinvertebrates in a river from the dry corridor of Nicaragua using biological indices and DNA barcoding [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Aquatic macroinvertebrates are widely used as indicators for water quality assessment around the world. Modern strategies for environmental assessment implement molecular analysis to delimitate species of aquatic macroinvertebrates.

What Works? the Influence of Changing Wastewater Treatment Type, Including Tertiary Granular Activated Charcoal, on Downstream Macroinvertebrate Biodiversity Over Time. [PDF]
Environ Toxicol Chem, 2019 Transformation in the fortunes of a macroinvertebrate population in a wastewater dominated river. ASPT = average score per taxon; LOQ = limit of quantification. Abstract The present study reviewed the impacts of wastewater on macroinvertebrates over 4 decades in a United Kingdom lowland river.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 537-548, February 2022., 2022 Metrics are needed to assess the ecological status of dynamic river ecosystems—including those that sometimes dry—and thus to identify priority sites requiring action to tackle the causes of environmental degradation. Our results inform recommendations guiding the development of such metrics.

Challenges Using Extrapolated Family-level Macroinvertebrate Metrics in Moderately Disturbed Tropical Streams: a Case-study From Belize [PDF]
, 2017 Family-level biotic metrics were originally designed to rapidly assess gross organic pollution effects, but came to be regarded as general measures of stream degradation.
